Soul of Business with Blaine Bartlett

“Mistaken Identity: Who Are You?”

Join me and my guest Doug Dane (www.dougdane.com), an international keynote speaker, mentor, and survivor of physical, emotional, and sexual abuse. Doug has a unique perspective on personal growth and transformation. His personal experience has led him to develop a duplicatable system to help others discover their true identity, let go of their past, and live a life of freedom. With a focus on self-reflection, self-compassion, and personal growth, Doug's approach to personal transformation is both inclusive and ethical. His message is one of hope and empowerment, encouraging individuals to take control of their lives and build a brighter tomorrow for themselves and those around them.
